A nine mile walk along the banks of the Union Canal from near Linlithgow to the Falkirk Wheel.
Our morning break was in Linlithgow and finished at the Falkirk Wheel where we had our social stop.
The weather today was beautiful, warm and sunney, lovely to be walking in this weather.

A really enjoyable 8 mile walk from Tyningham in East Lothian to North Berwick on the shore of the Firth of Forth. This walk was part of
the John Muir Way.
We set off from East Kilbride at 8am in
very grey damp clowdy conditions and headed to Haddington where we had our morning coffee break.
After coffee we headed to Tyningham
for the start of our walk, the conditions
were improving as we travelled.
Our walk took us past the old Preston
Mills and Prestonkirk into East Linton,
we then headed for North Berwick.
As we walked today we had lovely
views of the beautiful fields of wheat
& barly blowing in the breeze, and as
we approached North Berwick, Berwick
Law could be seen for miles.
When we reached North Berwick we
headed for the east shore where some
club members and friends of the club
had set up a BBQ.
Most people enjoyed the BBQ and had brought some wine to enjoy. When the
BBQ was over some of the walkers went
for a short stroll along the beach or had a paddle in the water. Great day out.

The Cateran Trail is a 64 mile /103 km circular route. It follows paths that Caterans used along drove roads and tracks through the stunning glens of Strathardle, Glen Shee and Glen Isla
To-day we walked an 8 mile part of the trail from Bridge of Cally to Blairgowrie, walking up over the moorland and taking in views of the Grampian Mountain range and the beautiful Perthshire countryside.
Our weather today was a bit wet underfoot, with a few very light showers, but it remained quite warm throughout the walk and by the end of our walk all the waterproof clothing had been removed and we were enjoying the sunshine.
Our morning coffee break and afternoon social stop was at The Argyle Hotel Blairgowrie.

Leaving East Kilbride at 6am to travel by coach to Addrossan on the Clyde Coast, here we catch the ferry to The Isle of Arran.
The ferry trip takes about an hour. After arriving at Brodick Pier, we headed straight into our walk. We left Brodick by the Lamlash road then turned left of the main road onto a minor road,this took us to the point where we started our climb into the Clauchland Hills this gave us uninterupted views over Broddick Goatfell & Lamlash Bay. We continued our climb via a costal path until we reached the top, here we had great views over The Holy Isle.
We continued our walk over heather plantations and along the edge of forests and returned to Brodick via Glen Cloy and past Auchrannie to enter the main road just at the golf coarse.
Our weather today was good, although we had a few small showers of rain it was quite warm
Our social stop was spent sitting in the garden of one of Brodick's local pubs not far from the ferry terminal. Another lovely walk

Started offf our day travelling to Dumfies in the Scottish Borders . We stopped for our morning break at a lovely Garden Centre just outside the town.
We then travelled through Dalbeattie to come to our starting point of the walk.
The walk was a 10 mile walk starting off going through the forest then climbing to the clifftop to continue our walk along the costal path with the Solway Firth on our left for the walk to Kippford a beautiful village on the Solway Coast.
The conditions were wet when we were travelling to our walk, but as we started our walk it was dry and stayed dry until after lunchtime. We were then caught in a very heavy shower that lasted for a short period then the conditions cleared again and we had dry weather for completing our walk.

We travel from East Kilbride to Luss on the shores of Loch Lommond for our morning stop for coffee. Starting off with a sail down Loch Lommond from Tarbert to Rowardennan where our seven and a half mile walk will commence.
The weather today is very wet, but warm. We start and finish the walk in full waterproof gear and we certainly need it.
Having said all of the above, the walk as always has been lovely, everything is so lush and the colours of the greens on the trees, fields and the forest floor has been really beauatiful. Unfortunately trying to take photos in these conditions is not always good because of the rain getting onto the camera lens, but I keep trying.
Our social stop was spent at a lovely warm cosy bar where we relaxed after our walk and before heading home again in the bus.

Seting off with our Rambling Club to walk the second part (7 Miles) of the West Highland Way.
Leaving the lovely village of Drymen we headed towards Garadhban Forest, the path winds through the forest before coming to open moorland with views towards the first climb of the Way, Conic Hill. After crossing the moorland we stopped by the bridge over the Burn of Mar where we had our lunch.
After lunch our first real challenge of the day,climbing Conic Hill, although the hill is not very high it is still quite a strenuous climb
( CONIC HILL lies on the Highland Boundry Fault, a massive geologicaln fracture separating the Lowlands from the Highlands. Standing on the top of the hill you can see the line of islands across Loch Lommond clearly marking the direction of the fault zone which runs right across the width of Scotland from Kintyre to Stonehaven just south of Aberdeen).
As we climbed the hill the views started to open out and we saw more of the countryside the wind became really strong the higher we climbed. On reaching the top of the hill the views over Loch Lommond and the islands on the loch were lovely. After a short break we headed down the slippery path to Balmaha on the banks of the loch. We then drove by coach back to Drymen for our 1 hour social stop.
GREAT DAY OUT.

A great 10 mile coastal walk from Eyemouth a lovely little fishing town on the east coast of Scotland to Berwick upon Tweed over the border into England.
We had great weather for the duration of the walk.
Great day out walking .
